The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Chapter 485 The Magical Internet Era

The winter snow is falling and the fireplace in the common room is warm.

Linde sat by the window, opened the "Daily Prophet" and read it with great interest.

The aftermath of the first competition has been basically eliminated. The strength of the major newspapers is still very deep. The lives and past of the four warriors have been unearthed and are known to everyone in the UK. This way, it will be easier for the audience to choose the one they are optimistic about. Players spontaneously formed a support group.

They receive letters from all over the world every day, most of which are encouragement and messages from fans, and some are endorsement contracts from stores.

Sports stars shoot ads, this traffic monetization model is really classic.

Limited by traditional media such as newspapers, information communication in the magical world still lags behind. It is said that in the past, carriages and horses were very slow, and owls were also very slow. Now is not the era when traffic is king.

Dumbledore was already eager to make changes.

As early as this summer vacation, James Potter received a commission from the principal to develop a communication terminal device for the magical world, which should be functionally similar to a mobile phone.

The master brain in the White Tower has gradually matured. As a god's brain cell that can assimilate the universe, its potential is far from being developed, and the master brain's utilization rate is less than one hundred thousandth. Therefore, it is a piece of cake to support the real-time information transmission of thousands of people and build a public network. Even if the wizard civilization develops outside the galaxy in the future, super-light communication can be achieved with the help of the master brain.

James was not lazy. He regarded his research and development work as a blessing and voluntarily worked overtime. In fact, he usually has nothing to do, and it is very satisfying for him to have his wife and children on the bed.

So before mid-December, the "Magic Internet Scroll" produced by James will be officially launched. The name may seem a bit confusing, but it is just a communication tool that can send text messages, video chat, and transfer files. , cloud storage, etc.

The Internet in the Muggle world was invented in 1969. We are still in the 2G era. We can only send text messages or pictures at most.

The Magic Internet can achieve real-time communication, with real-time download and upload speeds far exceeding 100Pb. This is no longer overtaking in a corner, but a drift out of the earth and straight to the Zenith Star.

Dumbledore received the goods in person and was very satisfied with the finished product. The old wizard confidently said that such a product should be promoted. It is best for every wizard to have a copy. By then, wizards around the world can communicate with each other at any time, and they will be able to communicate as never before. Unite.

Linde shook his head. Expecting the Internet to unite people all over the world is somewhat wishful thinking, and it will only lead to a chaotic chaos.

The professors gathered together to brainstorm and discuss how to sell "Scroll of the Magic Network". The Alchemy Workshop in Hogwarts has been put into production, with a daily production capacity of ten to fifteen scrolls. Including labor and material costs, the cost of each scroll is more than seventeen Galleons.

The old principal is indeed wealthy and has a mine at home, but no matter how many treasures there are in Gushan, he can't afford to sit back and let the mountain be empty. Hundreds of copies of the "Handbook" are distributed for free every year, which is only a small loss. It is completely impossible to meet the demand of wizards around the world.

"I think the price of 79 Galleons is a relatively reasonable figure." It was James who spoke, and he doubled the price with a touch of his mouth.

"It's too expensive. No one is willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy a product that can't significantly improve their lives." As a housewife, Lily understands that living with daily necessities is the true state of most wizards.

Dumbledore also nodded, "Think of a way to keep the cost down. I want everyone to be able to afford our products. Mr. Geller, can you do it?"

Grindelwald frowned for a moment. He is the person in charge of the alchemy workshop. Now the workshop is actually only supported by him and a group of students. To keep costs down, is it possible to deduct students' wages? Not even the Dark Lord could do such a heartless thing.

"I'm afraid not."

"Then I'll pay the difference personally. The price of a scroll should be about the same as a wand." Dumbledore said calmly.

Professor Caredi, who is in charge of the Muggle Studies course, suddenly suggested, "We can divide the product into several price ranges and make it into a commodity. Add some decoration and functions to the high-priced scrolls, so as to attract the interest of wealthy wizards. . And low-priced scrolls can give profits to ordinary wizards."

Everyone turned their attention to her.

Professor Caredi blushed and coughed: "This is the strategy used by Muggles to sell mobile phones. Mobile phones are..."

Dumbledore's eyes brightened, "That's a good suggestion, go on. How should we promote it?"

"First of all, we need to advertise... Maybe cooperating with the Ministry of Magic is a good way..."

A few days later, Lind saw the Hogwarts advertisement on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

——Hogwarts sincerely produces "Magic Internet Scroll". Are you still worried about missing letters from your owl? Are you still worried about not being able to find ink when writing letters? Are you still losing sleep waiting for your loved ones to reply? As long as you purchase this product, you can enjoy the wonderful experience of being as close as you are to the end of the world. London to Paris? One second is enough!

This is followed by a detailed introduction to the product, with corresponding product details displayed in each price range.

In addition, there is an interview article on the second page of the newspaper, which talks about the difficulty of the development process, the efforts of all teachers and students, Dumbledore's wise leadership, and the hard work of the staff. Hard, wide, soft and wide work together, and the level is quite good. good.

He clicked his tongue.

"Who is so talented and wrote this advertisement?"

Once the "Magic Internet Scroll" spread, the first to be impacted was the traditional paper media such as the "Daily Prophet". However, stimulated by Dumbledore's money stick, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper did not hesitate to promote this Taste.

Rita was a little restless. She was very keen to detect some changes in the wind direction. After all, it was a hyena's nose. In any case, this was a special skill.

Hogwarts advertised in the newspaper and included some samples. After Jennifer applied for the "Scroll", Rita couldn't wait to use it. She soon realized that the winter of newspapers was coming.

Jennifer didn't take it seriously, "What's the point? In the future, the Daily Prophet can be moved to this Internet."

"But this is not what you have the final say! You idiot! After Hogwarts promotes this thing, it can easily spawn a media bigger than the Daily Prophet." Rita gritted her teeth in anger, "Definitely It’s that bastard, he wants to completely gag me!”

"Who is this bastard you are talking about?" Jennifer asked curiously.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts, Lind suddenly sneezed, "Who missed me?"

"Dang Dang!" A crisp laugh came from behind the newspaper, "It's me!"

The silver-haired beauty Fleur came again, her eyes sparkling, "Do you want to dance with me today?"

Everyone in the common room is used to it. Fleur can always ask for the password to the common room. These boys have no resistance at all.

"I think what you should be worried about is how to conduct the second competition." Lind was a little upset and decided to change the subject, "Have you found any clues?" (End of Chapter)
